Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. This camera is designed to be connected to a compatible PRUVEEO Mirror Dash Cam (J20-4CH/J30).
Mounting the Camera
- Choose Location: Select a suitable location at the rear of your vehicle, typically above the license plate or near the trunk handle, ensuring a clear view of the area behind the vehicle. The camera is designed for surface mounting.
- Secure Mounting: Use the provided mounting bracket and screws to securely attach the camera to the chosen surface. Ensure the camera is oriented correctly for the desired viewing angle.
Wiring Connection
- Connect to Dash Cam: Locate the rear camera input port on your PRUVEEO J20-4CH or J30 Mirror Dash Cam. This port is typically a 2.5mm jack.
- Route Cable: Carefully route the 2.5mm to 4 Pin connection cable from the rear camera to the dash cam, ensuring it is tucked away safely to avoid interference with vehicle operations. Avoid sharp bends or pinching the cable.
- Power Connection: The camera receives power through its connection to the dash cam. Ensure the dash cam is properly powered according to its own manual.
- Test Functionality: Before finalizing cable routing, power on your dash cam and shift your vehicle into reverse (if applicable) to confirm the rear camera displays correctly on the dash cam screen. Adjust the camera angle as needed.
Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and connected to your compatible PRUVEEO Mirror Dash Cam, the rear camera operates automatically.
- Automatic Display: When the vehicle is put into reverse gear (and the dash cam is correctly wired to detect this signal), the dash cam display will automatically switch to the rear camera view, providing a live feed for parking and reversing maneuvers.
- Recording: The rear camera's footage is typically recorded simultaneously with the front camera footage by the dash cam, providing comprehensive coverage of your vehicle's surroundings. Refer to your dash cam's manual for specific recording settings and playback options.
- Viewing Angle: The wide-angle lens provides a broad field of view, minimizing blind spots behind your vehicle.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PRUVEEO Back Up Camera, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Lens Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lens with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or water spots that may obstruct the view. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the connection cable for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure it remains securely routed and protected.
- Mounting Check: Verify that the camera remains securely mounted and that its angle has not shifted due to vibrations or impacts.
- Weather Protection: While the camera is designed to be waterproof, extreme weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, ice) may temporarily affect image clarity. Ensure the lens is clear before driving.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PRUVEEO Back Up Camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

- Blurry or Distorted Image:
- Clean the camera lens thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
